Here is a partial example of a site's submission for two tasks.

The entire set of summaries generated by a given participating group, i.e., that group's task-level submissions combined into one DUC 2004 submission, should be submitted as simple ASCII text in the body of one email to Lori.Buckland@nist.gov using the formats defined above.

Please validate your DUC 2004 submission before emailing it to NIST. Use the XML validator of your choice. For example, "javac sax.SAXCount -v YOURFILE" from the Xerxes 1.x XML package or an XML validator such as the one provided via the Web by the Brown University Scholarly Technology Group.
